Dear Mr. Smith:

P.O. BOX 6898 JBER, ALASKA 99506-0898

JUL 2 8 Z014

This is in response to your March 17, 2014, application for a Department of the Army (DA) permit to construct an 830-foot long by 6-inch diameter outfall line (of which 480-foot would occur below the high tide fine of Moira Sound in both vegetated and unvegetated estuarine intertidal waters). The new discharge pipe would lead to the proposed marine discharge outfall at an elevation of 14-feet below mean lower low water on the seafloor. The estimated maximum amount of rock and/or concrete fill material to be placed below the high tide line of Moira Sound is 11 cubic yards to anchor the outfall fine. It has been assigned fife number POA-1 982-290, Moira Sound, which should be referred to in all future correspondence with this office. The project site is located within Section 34, T. 78 S., R. 88 E. , Copper River Meridian; USGS Quad Map Craig A-1; Latitude 55.0664° N., Longitude 132.1465° W.; at the Niblack Mine Exploration Project in Moira Sound on Prince of Wales Island, Alaska.

Based on our review of the information you furnished and available to us, we have preliminarily determined the above project area contains waters of the United States (U.S.), including wetlands, under the Corps' regulatory jurisdiction (Please see the attached Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination Form).

DA permit authorization is necessary because your project would involve work in and placement of structures and fill material into waters of the U.S. under our regulatory jurisdiction.

Based upon the information and plans you provided, we hereby verify that the work described above, which would be performed in accordance with the enclosed plan (sheets 1-7), dated June 2, 2014, is authorized by Nationwide Permit (NWP) No.7, Outfall Structures. NWP No. 7 and its associated Regional and General Conditions can be accessed at our website at: www.poa.usace.army mii/Missions/Regulatory/Permits.aspx. Regional Conditions F, G, and H apply to your project. You must comply with all terms and conditions associated with NWP No. 7, as well as with the special condition fisted below:

Documentation of an Alaska Pollution Discharge Elimination System (APDES) permit authorized by Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation and a State of Alaska Tidelands Lease authorized by Alaska Department of Natural Resources to the applicant shall be required prior to construction.

Further, please note General Condition 30 requires that you submit a signed certification to us once any work and required mitigation are completed. Enclosed is the form for you to complete and return to us.

This verification is valid until March 18, 201 7, unless the NWP is modified, reissued, or revoked. It is incumbent upon you to remain informed of changes to the NWPs. Nothing in this letter excuses you from compliance with other Federal, State, or local statutes, ordinances, or regulations.

EXPLANATION OF PRELIM INA RY AND APPROVED J URISOlCTIONAL DETERM INATIONS: I. The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional waters of the United States on the subject site, and the permit applicant or other affected party who requested this preliminary JD is hereby advised of his or her option to request and obtain an approved jurisdictional detcrm ination (.ID) for that site. Nevertheless. the pcm1it applicant or other person who requested this preliminary JD has declined to exercise the option to obtain an approved JD in this instance and at this time. 2. In any circumstance where a permit applicant obtains an individual permit, or a Nationwide General Permit (NWP) or other general permit verification requiring "preconstruction notification" (PCN), or requests verification for a non­reporting NWP or other general permit, and the permit applicant has not requested an approved .10 for the activity, the permit applicant is hereby made aware of the following: ( I) the permit applicant has elected to seek a permit authorization based on a preliminary JD. which does not make an official determination of jurisdictional waters: (2) that the applicant has the option to request an approved JD before accepting the terms and conditions of the permit authorization. and that basing a permit authorization on an approved JD could possibly result in less compensatory mitigation being required or different special conditions; (3) that the applicant has the right to request an individual permit rather than accepting the terms and conditions or the NWP or other general permit authorization: (4) that the applicant can accept a permit authorization and thereby agree to comply with all the terms and conditions of that permit, including whatever mitigation requirements the Corps has determined to be necessary; (5) that undertaking any activity in reliance upon the subject permit authorization without requesting an approved JD constitutes the applicant's acceptance of the use of the preliminary JD, but that either form of JD will be processed as soon as is practicable; (6) accepting a pem1it authorization (e.g .. signing a proffered individual permit) or undertaking any activity in reliance on any form of Corps permit authorization based on a preliminary JD constitutes agreement that all wetlands and other water bodies on the site affected in any way by that activity are jurisdictional waters of the United States, and precludes any challenge to such jurisdiction in any administrative or judicial compliance or enforcement action. or in any administrative appeal or in any Federal court: and (7) whether the applicant elects to use either an approved JD or a preliminary JD, that JD will be processed as soon as is practicable. Further, an approved JD. a proffered individual permit (and all terms and conditions contained therein), or individual permit denial can be administratively appealed pursuant to 33 C.F.R. Part331, and that in any administrative appeal, jurisdictional issues can be raised (see 33 C.F.R. 331 .5(a)(2)). If, during that administrative appeal. it becomes necessary to make an official determination whether CWA jurisdiction exists over a site. or to provide an official delineation of jurisdictional waters on the site. the Corps will provide an approved JD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable.
